Where Tania is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Tania has been most common in California (2.6×), Nevada (1.6×), and New York (1.5×), and least common in Kentucky (0.1×).

25,168 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
